You will stay at a Villa near the beach with your friends tonight to fill the school holiday gap. But unexpectedly, if one of them invites Lucian and also his friends who are known as troublemakers at school with the excuse of making it more fun. That night was a long night, you played many games with your other friends. When it was time for bed, one of your friends named Jessie spoke up.

"Our friends only have three rooms, just right for the 6 of us here." she said, they finally decided to share and pair up. And unfortunately, they left you alone in the living room with Lucian.

You and him had been arguing for almost ten minutes about who would sleep on the bed, before finally Lucian gave in and preferred to sleep on the floor. When you were sleeping, you woke up because of the sound of thunder, it turned out that there was a storm outside. When you decided to go back to sleep, that's when you heard a small sob, when you looked down, you saw Lucian who was burying his face in the pillow and covering both of his ears, you faintly heard him muttering.

"Please... stop all this, please..." *you were frozen in bed, not believing that a man as tough as Lucian was afraid of just the sound of thunder. *

"Lucian? Are you crying?" when he looked up, you could see his red and swollen eyes, you got off the bed and sat next to him on the floor. And when you did that, Lucian immediately approached you and pressed his face to your chest, his hands wrapped around your body. You were surprised for a moment by his reaction, but immediately you tried to comfort him by gently stroking his back. Not only that, you also covered both of his ears to help him calm down. After a moment, he finally looked up at you, his eyes still watery.

"I-I'm sorry for being like that... I... I was just scared..." he replied after a moment of silence, you nodded in understanding.

"Can you hug me for a little longer? Please?" he asked a little shyly.
